Hyvä Suomi! 🇫🇮
We shot this commercial for Finnish TV with the amazing Linda Sällström for Rexona — chasing spring vibes in grey, freezing Malmö, right in the middle of December.
Minimal light, crew, and time with maximum effort.
Thanks to the best team for making this happen!

Part two of our collaboration with BBDO Nordics for Malmö – Small City, Big Energy!

What makes Malmö so special? It’s a place that dares to stand out, a small city with a big attitude. A relaxed yet confident atmosphere.

The films were produced for the British, German, Danish, and Dutch markets, and are available in these languages to show the world why Malmö is the place to be.
